Abstract

For one-dimensional phase-turbulent solutions of the Kuramoto-Sivashinsky equation with rigid boundary conditions, we show that there is a substantial variation of the correlation time~τc(x)\tau_c(x) with spatial position xx in moderately large systems of size LL. These results suggest that some time-averaged properties of spatiotemporal chaos do not become homogeneous away from boundaries for large systems and for long times.
